ping flood a single computer?

is it possible to ping flood (or DoS) a single computer as opposed to an entire service? lets say i'm connected to a network and i want to ping 192.168.1.2 so many that it cannot receive information from a legitimate source (therefore making impossible for this machine to access the internet), is this practical? what tools should i use? (i know of a program called LOIC but i'm wary about downloading it because i'm unsure of its origins (and its a .exe)

my end goal is to disrupt internet connection to the local ip address 192.168.1.2, am i looking in the right direction?

Ping is an ICMP protocol packet and it may not take precedence over other packet like http etc... So flooding a machine with ICMP may not result in DoS. That said if you can simulate that a ping is being sent from multiple machines to a single target you may get some positive results but most of the DoS attacks are on routers and switches because these must forward the packets to the destinations.

If you want to disconnect a computer from the internet, you could just mass deauth it.
Use aireplay-ng with the -0 switch and set the number of packets to 0 so it'll be continuous.
I use it to piss off my sis sometimes, it's funny to watch her stare at the screen and not have a clue what's going on.
